“Following the development of CeMM closely, it is a great pleasure to see an institute which provides an intellectual, liberal and cosmopolitan environment for cutting-edge science in the heart of Austria. I was at the CeMM inauguration and have seen that from the very beginning the institute has a refreshing new style and looks beyond its own disciplinary borders. Headed by its inspiring leader, Giulio Superti-Furga, CeMM brings together the cultural ideal of Humboldt with the 21st century’s knowledge and understanding to pursue scientific excellence with a keen eye on the benefits for society.”
